Employment Issues
Leaving Your Job
Leaving your job could entail that you made the personal choice to leave, or unfortunately you were fired. In either case there are a few options that you can choose to make it to the next step.
If you chose to leave, before you sumit your resignation to your boss, make sure you are prepared to leave. In some companies you have to give 2 weeks notice, whereas in others they may want you out the door that day. In that case, you need to make sure you leave nothing behind and prepare to say goodbye so that you leave a good impression.
Practical preparations
- Clean out your computer: computer documents, emails, personal software, internet browsers (delete browsing history and cookies)
- Clean out your desk: get rid of old paper files. Leave only what is necessary for the next person who will be doing your job next
- Write a resignation letter. It really only has to mention that you are leaving and when your last day will be.
- Say goodbye via email; keep it short and to the point. You want to move forward in a positive manner. Perhaps include projects you enjoyed working on together and your contact details so that they can stay in touch.
- Remember that ultimately, you want your boss to be able to give you a good reference if you need one in the future.
- Do not critisise your job in writing. Anything can be kept on file and this may return to haunt you in your future career.
- Don't brag about your new job

What is Employment Security Commission?
It is a federal and state program for the unemployed to still receive money while they are out of work and searching for more employment. It is designed to help support families and households while the unemployed candidate is searching for another job. This program does have its limits and is not meant to pay the candidate the same amount that he or she made previously, or to enable the same standard of living before the candidate lost his or her job.
What does it offer?
The basic function of the program is that it pays the unemployed while they are searching for other employment options. However it also offers other services and benefits to help enhance the knowledge of the candidates. The program wants to help and encourage employment, not support the unemployed. Other benefits include: career information, resume help, training programs and job fairs.
How does it work?
The government began collecting a payroll tax on employers under the 1935 act. States were then also encouraged to set up programs following similar and broad guidelines. Currently, all states have some form of this program. Although each state has its own form of the program, they still follow the federal rules and guidelines. Most are standard with little differences such as the name of the program may vary from state to state as well as the specific benefits that are offered.
Who can apply to recieve the benefits?
Generally, anyone who lost their job can apply. However there are conditions that must be met before the unemployed candidate receives the insurance. The candidate must be out of work for reasons other than their own. For example, he or she must have been fired or if he or she quit, the reasoning must prove that there was legitimate cause such as safety issues. Also, in order to file for unemployment, the candidate needed to have worked for his or her previous employer long enough to prove that the employer paid a sufficient amount of money for the candidate into the system. The standard time period that the a state looks into the work history is about 15 months.
How long can you use it?
The general amount of time to receive unemployment benefits is about 26 weeks. However, there is the ability to apply for an extension that goes up to about 99 weeks. The amount of time depends on the qualification of the candidate.

Disability discrimination is when an employer that is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act or Rehabilitation Act treats a qualified candidate who has a disability differently or unfavorably due to that disability. The disability could be current or the candidate may have a history of a disability such as cancer or another disease that prohibited working in the past, but the candidate is now in remission or able to continue working. Disability discrimination also applies to those who have mental impairments as well as physical.
The law covers disability discrimination in the workplace, harassment because of disabilities and reasonable accommodation for disabilities.
The United States Employment Opportunity Commission provides detailed information about each of those categories as well as links to further information about disability discrimination. Other sources include include information on your rights as a person with disabilities, where to go if you are being discriminated against as well as other accommodations and employment options.
